Hypertherm 228716: Duramax Machine Torch Body Replacement

Keep your automated plasma cutting operations running at full capacity with the Hypertherm 228716 Machine Torch Main Body Kit. This is the direct OEM replacement part for the main body of Duramax machine torches found on the Powermax65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 systems. When a torch body gets damaged—whether through a crash on the cutting table, stripped threads during consumable changes, or general wear and tear—it can halt production instantly. This kit provides the exact factory replacement needed to rebuild your torch head, saving you the significant cost of replacing the entire torch and cable assembly.

The 228716 kit is compatible with a wide range of Duramax machine torches, specifically the M65, M65m, M85, M85m, and M105m models. It is built to Hypertherm's rigorous engineering standards, featuring high-impact resistance and superior thermal stability. The integrity of the torch body is crucial for safety and performance; it houses the electrode, swirl ring, nozzle, and shield, and must maintain perfect concentricity to ensure a straight, focused plasma arc. A compromised torch body can lead to gas leaks, poor cut quality, and premature failure of consumables. Installing this genuine replacement restores the original tolerances and performance characteristics of your system.

Key Benefits of the 228716 Kit:

• Cost Savings: Repairs the torch head without needing a new lead.
• OEM Quality: Guarantees proper fitment and electrical safety.
• Durability: Constructed from proprietary heat-resistant materials.
• Versatility: Fits multiple generations of Duramax machine torches.

For professional fabricators and industrial manufacturers utilizing CNC plasma tables, downtime is the enemy. Having a 228716 kit on the shelf or available for quick order ensures that a broken torch doesn't turn into a multi-day stoppage. This part is critical for maintaining the high-performance capabilities of your Powermax system, ensuring that you get the best possible edge quality and cutting speed that the machine was designed to deliver.
